阿布扎比国家石油公司（ADNOC）钻井部门已正式宣布与SLB 和Patterson-UTI 达成协议，成立合资企业（JV）Turnwell Industries。

该合资公司巩固了合作伙伴关系，将引领阿联酋进入非常规革命。ADNOC Drilling 持有 55% 的多数股权，SLB 持有 30%，Patterson-UTI 持有剩余的 15%。

阿布扎比国家石油公司钻井公司首席执行官阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿卜杜拉·阿尔塞阿里 (Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Seiari) 在公告中表示：“这项合资企业是一项突破性的成就，并且已经通过显著缩短油井交付时间获得了回报，正如首批油井在创纪录的时间内交付一样。”

今年5月，阿布扎比国家石油公司与SLB和Patterson-UTI签署了不具约束力的合作协议，授予这两家服务提供商Turnwell的少数股权，Turnwell是阿布扎比国家石油公司钻井公司的非常规项目部门。

该合资公司负责监管一项价值 17 亿美元的非常规钻井合同，用于在阿联酋开发 144 口非常规油气井。Turnwell于 10 月表示，它将与 SLB 和 Patterson-UTI 共享所有权，专注于加速其运营。

Turnwell 采用了先进的随钻测量技术、钻头设计和旋转导向系统，在不到 20 天内成功交付了 144 口井中迄今为止最快的钻井时间。与之前的记录相比，最近的钻井交付时间缩短了 13%，与该平台的四口井相比，交付时间减少了 53%。

Turnwell 表示，该公司还在探索阿联酋非常规资源的未来发展机会。阿布扎比估计拥有 2200 亿桶致密油和 460 万亿立方英尺非常规天然气。Al Seiari 表示，合资企业的成立标志着开发这些资源的第一步。

他在声明中补充道：“与 SLB 和 Patterson-UTI 完成 Turnwell 合资企业的组建，将推进我们开发阿联酋世界级非常规能源资源的计划，巩固阿联酋在负责任能源供应领域的全球领先地位。”

New Abu Dhabi JV Announces Unconventional Drilling Benchmark

Turnwell said it achieved a new well delivery time as it begins a massive contract to develop the UAE’s unconventional gas resources.

The drilling unit of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has officially announced the closing of an agreement to form Turnwell Industries, a joint venture (JV) with SLB and Patterson-UTI.

The JV cements a partnership that will lead the UAE’s entry into the unconventional revolution. ADNOC Drilling holds a 55% majority equity stake, SLB owns 30%, and Patterson-UTI holds the remaining 15%.

“This joint venture is a groundbreaking achievement and is already paying dividends through the significant reduction in well delivery time as seen through the first wells being delivered in record time,” Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Seiari, CEO of ADNOC Drilling, said in the announcement.

In May, ADNOC signed nonbinding partnership agreements with SLB and Patterson-UTI, awarding the two service providers with minority stakes in Turnwell, which serves as the unconventional projects arm of ADNOC Drilling.

The JV oversees a $1.7 billion unconventional drilling contract for the development of 144 unconventional oil and gas wells in the UAE. Turnwell said in October that it would be sharing ownership with SLB and Patterson-UTIas it focused on accelerating its operations.

Using advanced measurement-while-drilling technology, drill-bit designs, and rotary steerable systems, Turnwell successfully delivered in just under 20 days the fastest well time so far in its 144-well drilling campaign. The recent campaign achieved a 13% improvement in well delivery time compared with the previous record and a 53% reduction in well delivery over the four wells in the pad.

Turnwell said it is also exploring the potential for future opportunities in unconventional resources in the UAE. Abu Dhabi holds an estimated 220 billion bbl of tight oil and 460 Tcf of unconventional gas in place. The closing of the joint venture marks the first step toward developing these resources, Al Seiari said.

“Closing the Turnwell JV with SLB and Patterson-UTI advances our plans to unlock the UAE’s world-class unconventional energy resources, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a global leader in the responsible supply of energy,” he added in the statement.
